Nothing is more important to the playability of a uke than the feel of the neck. I finally hit upon the neck that I love on one of the last instruments I completed, the beautiful blonde #38. I just love to play it and it has become my go to uke because of the neck.
I am copying that thin, C shaped neck on the three concerts.

Here they are, in the process of being pared down with scraper, bow sander and various sanding devices. I measure the thickness at various frets and am using the neck on #38 as my model.
